EA Releases The Sims 3 Into the Future, Plans The Sims 4 for 2014

The Sims 3 Into the Future Expansion Pack, from Electronic Arts Inc. for PC and Mac, is now available at retailers across North America and on origin.com. This time, Sims have broken through the space and time continuum to meet their descendants, play with technologies of tomorrow, and change the destiny of their entire world. Set against the backdrop of the new world of Oasis Landing, Sims discover new adventures when they travel back and forth between the future and present worlds. Players, meanwhile, have the option of blazing a trail towards Utopia, or charting a Dystopian course and leading the Sims into a state of desolation.

In related news, The Sims 4 will ship worldwide next fall. The new game brings new ways to play with life, powerful new creative tools, Sims with enhanced emotion and intelligence, and more. Pre-orders are available at www.TheSims.com/TheSims4, and those who pre-order will receive the limited edition, which comes with The Sims 4 Life of the Party digital content.
